Gotta love you FL... you really make me smile. I walk around with a strut hearing your line... "There's strong, then there's Gypsy strong!" It's amazing how uplifting that is!

I realize I'm turning corners... seeing things in the relationship I'd never realized.. and am wary about how insidious it is to subtly rewrite history.

I felt my son had the f&ck you attitude toward me when I asked for nominal rent. Seeing it as a step toward his independence is great. Helps keep my "can I ice your booboo hand that got hurt walloping me" martyrdom at bay. I have go get over people I cherish being angry at me.

I have been walking with a friend again and it is wonderful.

It's funny... or maybe it's just getting to the point where I'm starting to see what my life is.

Have to call out "Mush!" rather than live it.

*hugs*
